I had the same problem in this thread: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89849 I still haven't decided what to do, and I was just trying to sort out all the references I got in that thread this afternoon. From the different places suggested to me in that thread, this is what I found: 100mfd-500v snap ons at http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/Sea...6787804769617F. But snap ons never look very good mounted on terminal strips under the chassis, so I'm thinking about replacing 2 of the original cans with those JJ multi-section caps mentioned earlier in the thread: one 50/50 - 500v and one 100/100 - 500v (also using one of the 100s for the 80, and one of the 50s for a 50-450v), they're at www.tubesandmore.com (to find them, they're under multi-section caps - not electrolytics). It won't look totally original, but it might look better than the snap-ons. As far as the 160mfd-250v, www.mouser.com has them (160-350v) but they're 12 bucks a piece. As far as the 4mfd-475 nobody seems to have them, I might just try replacing them with 10mfd and see what happens. I haven't actually ordered from any of these places or tried any of these yet though. I have 15 or so sets here that need recapping so I'm going to order up lots of caps in the next few days, from all these places justradios.com seems the cheapest, so I'll probably try and get what I can from them. I also remember from my earlier thread that the sprague electrolytics were highly thought of, so it might be worth seeing who has those specifically. I don't know, I'm confused, I used to get all my caps from a guy with a shop about 5 miles from here, and life was easy, but he closed up shop 2 years ago, and my stash of caps has run out.
